textiles and objects from the collections of Lloyd Cotsen and the Neutrogena Corporation : works in cloth, ceramic, wood, metal, straw, and paper from cultures throughout the world

Around the world and throughout history, people have expressed extraordinary creativity in textiles and objects used to adorn themselves and their homes, for practical and religious purposes, and to make known their thoughts, feelings, hopes, and dreams. This book celebrates such works, ranging from European embroideries, African weavings, Japanese kimonos, kites, posters, hats and work clothing, to tools, warrior's gloves, and much more - all from the selective eye of one man, Lloyd Cotsen, who sought out and collected the hundreds of glorious pieces featured here
